What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on SOC or security role focused on threat detection, incident response, and practical blue-team work with opportunities to apply automation, grow technical skills, and contribute to security operations.

I am a cybersecurity graduate with hands-on SOC experience in threat detection, log analysis, and incident response using Wazuh, Suricata, and UFW. I completed a 30-Day SOC Challenge emphasizing Blue Team operations and have practical experience across both Blue and Red Team practices.

I have interned as a Cyber Security Analyst and Cyber Security Intern, where I monitored systems for suspicious activity, supported incident documentation, identified risks, and conducted assessments using tools like Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark and Metasploit. I have delivered SOC practicals including FIM configuration, Nmap scan detection, and SSH brute-force detection with containment.

My projects include a Node.js Password Cracking Resistance Analyzer, a Python VirusTotal automation tool, and a Flask-based Multi-Factor Authentication system; I apply secure coding practices and automation to improve detection and remediation. I am eager to contribute as a SOC Analyst Intern and deliver practical security solutions for real-world environments.
